We stayed here one night with our tour through Nexus Holidays (never again).||The only thing grand about this place was the foyer, and that is where anything nice about this hotel stops. The first thing we noticed when opening the door to our room was how big and spacious the room was as it was a double room. However, within seconds of opening the door the awful smell of sewerage hit our noses. We finally traced it to the bathroom, which was mouldy and dirty, and toilet didn't flush properly. We opened our windows and closed the bathroom door, and hoped for the best.

Read moreDon't be fooled by the decent foyer. This smoky, dirty hotel does not attempt to even scratch the surface of what a hospitality institute should be. The staff are unhelpful & rude, and the GM is impatient & superficial. Most of the showers were broken in the rooms we were given. The carpets were threadbare and filthy, and the beds were rock-hard. The wifi did not work for any of us, a group of over 60. None of us attended breakfast as the breakfast venue was dirty, and the food inedible, greasy & old. The Jinjiang is not even a cheap hotel, so you are better off finding something else in the area. I've stayed in over 30 hotels in China and this rates around the...
